My wife and I finally got to sit down and talk about this one. I still think it is BS. Ok, you know the story and the "homeowner/host" missedit all while "walking the dog". This sounds like the classic BS story you'd tell your Mom when something happened and something got broken. Something happened to the homeowner's property, while he/she wasn't there to witness it. Mom is the host in this scenario.
You and your friends are out back playing and having a good time. Your friend, Sam jumps on Mom's prize petunias and "uh-oh" we're in deep stuff, now. Mom comes out to check on us, 'cause it got awfully quiet - we've all been there...
Mom: "What happend to my petunias?"
Johnny: "Well, Mom, this martian landed his spaceship in the flowers"
Mom: "Do what?"
Johnny: "Yeah, then he got out and had this scary look in his eyes."
Rest of group: "Yeah, Mrs. Mom, he ran around us and then pointed his raygun at Smitty and said, 'Give me all of your money, toys and girlie magazines, or Smitty is toast."
Mom: "Go on..."
Johnny: "So we were getting all the stuff together to give to the martian, when Dave said to the martian, 'here, have a drink of cool-aid.'
Dave: " That's right Mrs. Mom. He tasted the cool-aid and said, 'that's mighty fine cool-aid, can I have some more.'
Johnny: "So we gave him the whole pitcher and he put his ray gun away and thanked us". Then the martian said, 'you guys are all right, can I take the pitcher with me?' And I said, sure, take all you want.
Mom: "Then what happened?"
Johnny: "He thanked us and we all had a big hug and realized that it was all a big misunderstanding. He didn't really mean to harm us or scare us. He just got into his spaceship and took off. Dave told his Mom all about it, you can ask her."
Mom: "OK, I suppose it is a true story, since you told Dave's Mom about it."
Johnny: "Thanks Mom, you're the greatest!"
Mom: "Why didn't the martian SOB fix my petunias?"
Sound familiar?...
